Shareholders are the three federal states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia and the two German public broadcasters Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR) and Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF). Since its foundation in 1998, MDM has also been supporting economically promising multimedia projects. From 2001 on, funding in this area has been mainly targeted at games. Moreover, the digitalization and convergence of media have created new types of storytelling, which is why we are also looking for new multimedia concepts and format types. Funding can be granted as conditionally repayable, interest-free loans. High-quality projects in terms of content and gameplay as well as an economic and technical expertise of the developer, creating a sustainable economic effect in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia are important criteria for funding.
